Anne Greenwood (she/her) (b. Jamestown, North Dakota, 1967) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of time, spirituality, and the transcendent genius of the natural world. Collaboration, vibrant color, and fostering relationships are the common threads in her social art practice that spans textiles, plants, and poetry. She has worked as a residential gardener in Portland, tending to small gardens across the city for 25 years. In 1989, she co-founded the Albina Green in North Portland and, for over ten years, collaborated with Ariadne Community Supported Agriculture Garden. In 2018, she was introduced to the TC2 Digital Jacquard loom at the Icelandic Textile Center, and in 2022, she was invited to return to weave 10 yards of textile. This work will be featured in the 2023 international exhibition Threads | Þræðir Intertwined in Iceland: Textiles & Book Arts at Nordia House NW in Portland, and this will be a featured exhibit, artists' talk, and workshop with Portland Textile Month.

Anne’s work has been collected by the Plains Art Museum in ND, the Bainbridge Island Art Museum, many special collections libraries, rare book rooms, and private collections. Her work is sold by David Abel at Passages Books in Portland, OR, Erin Michelson at 23 Sandy in Santa Fe, NM, and Fran Durako of Kelmscott Book Sellers in Baltimore, MA. The OAC, the PICA, RACC, the Hallie Ford Foundation, the Multnomah County Cultural Coalition, and the North Dakota Council for the Arts have all financially supported her projects. Greenwood Rioseco has been an artist in residence at Portland State University Textile Arts, Playa (Summer Lake, OR), Caldera (Sisters, OR), Signal Fire (OR), and Pine Meadow Ranch (Sisters, OR).
